President Trump turned heads around the world this week when he announced he was ordering his Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, to “closely study” the “large-scale killing of white farmers” in South Africa after watching FOX News‘ Tucker Carlson devote an entire segment to the white supremacist conspiracy.

I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson@FoxNews

It is deeply disturbing to see the President of the United States giving such a platform for the piteous victimization complexes of aggravated racists, not to mention deeply insulting the government and people of South Africa.

“President Donald Trump’s unfortunate tweet shows disrespect for South Africa’s sovereignty and our commitment to justice and redress, Trump once again demonstrates a total ignorance of reality. We will not be dictated to, threatened or pressured into accepting a land deal that perpetuates the injustices of the past.”

He added that Trump’s time would “be better served by dealing with his own domestic challenges and the fundamental issues that the ‘Black Lives Matter’ campaign raises.”

Ramphosa’s land reform is aimed at redistributing “unused land, derelict buildings, circumstances where occupiers have strong historical rights, informal settlements and abandoned inner-city buildings” — not to simply seize all farms from whites, though they would be well within their rights to do so, considering they were illegitimately and violently seized from South African blacks long ago.

South Africa must be the only country in the world where a genocide is ongoing but where the victims still employ their murderers to tend to their gardens, clean their homes & walk their dogs.

All reports of a “white genocide” or killings of white farmers are vastly overexaggerated. Killings have actually dropped over the past few years, but the far-right wing would rather repeat preposterous lies than accept that historical injustices should be rectified at the expense of white oppressors.
